Tape Bonding (Second Skin™ and Gel Flex™ ONLY)

Tape is fast, convenient, and easy to use. It offers simple attachment, removal and cleaning. Tape is available in variety of strengths giving you the flexibility to accurately control the duration of the hold. If you prefer daily removal, select a mild tape that will last anywhere between 1-3 days. On the other hand, if your prefer a longer hold, choose one of our stronger tapes, which can provide a very secure hold for 7-10 days.

Before Starting:

Make sure both surfaces to be bonded (scalp and system) are clean, dry and free of ALL grease and oil. Remove any stubble from the area of scalp to be bonded.

When finished, you should avoid washing hair for 24 hours.

Items Required:

• Scalp Protector
• Tape

Instructions

NB: These instructions apply to systems without lace fronts. If your system incorporates a lace front, please refer to the Lace Front Bonding Instructions.

1. Apply a thin layer of Scalp Protector on the scalp (in the areas where the tape will be).
2. Remove the protective paper from one side of the double-sided tape and apply around the perimeter of the underside of the hair system up to the very edges, including the front.
3. Remove the remaining protective paper.
4. Position the front of the system in place and then roll the system back over the scalp, making sure that the hair does not get onto the tape.
5. Secure the hair system to your scalp by pressing firmly on the taped areas and smooth it out so there no wrinkles or folds.
6. Simply brush to blend in with your own hair and you are finished.

Tips

1. Leave a small space between pieces of tape at the sides and back to allow for water and shampoo to escape if wearing your system for extended periods of time.
2. Place an additional piece of tape on the top of the system for additional security (optional).
3. Spray a light mist of alcohol on the tape and to your scalp where the tape will be. This will allow you to align the system before the adhesive on the tape takes hold.
